Yey. (Election Bitterness Post Number 4)

Kami rin ang nagwagi. bwahahaha.

I've read comments from people emphasizing that no one should be pissed just because the deadline cut them off so they weren't able to register. Though they have a point and I would probably have the same comment if I were able to register, it's still worthwhile to note that it's so very easy to just blame the so-called Filipino trait of waiting for the last minute before doing anything instead of actually looking at the issue in a deeper perspective. Sure, the people who really exerted effort only when the deadline was near has so much to be blamed for ending up unregistered and disenfranchised. But looking at just that reason and not expanding your view to a wider perspective would make you blind at the flaws of the process of the registration, too.

Oo. Siguro yung ibang lugar naging madali lang at walang problema. Pero base sa mga narinig kong kwento, marami ring nakaranas ng problema na hindi naman kasi dapat nagexist in the first place. At kung yung ibang lugar may problema pero yung iba wala, isn't that a sign that something is wrong and something can be corrected? In the end, don't just blame everything on an individual when you haven't even made sure that he or she has a right to complain.

Hindi excuse na dahil matagal, hinid efficient, at magulo ang proseso ng pagpaparehistro kaya hahabaan mo na lang yung time frame para makapagparehistro ang mga tao. All the more, hindi kasi porke't mahaba yung binigay mong time frame, kung hindi naman kasi talaga rumerespeto sa oras ng isang tao yung proseso ng pagpaparehistro, eh feeling mo may dahilan ka na para sabihing ginawa mo na ang lahat para makapagparehistro ang lahat ng gusto magparehistro.
